OIRS NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT Grace Louise Ovcrdorf Gracie Grace is the girl who is always seen hurry- ing through the halls laden with books and pencils. She's generally chattering when you see her, although it isn't about lessons. Grace is one of the best commercial students of the class. Grace possesses dark wavy hair, brown .eyes and a great deal of musical ability. Most of her time is spent at the piano, lessons and business meetings. Commercial Course Tatler Staff 2, 4, Glee Club 2, 4, Junior Red Cross Council Representative 2, 3, 4. William Pfeifle Bill Bill is that long, lean and lanky student with sandy hair and smiling eyes. His pet aversion is playing the fiddle, but it is our hope that if his attitude changes, he may someday become asecond Rubinoff. He can be either a quiet or a noisy individual, his disposition varying according to his mood and environment. Commercial Course Athletic Club 2, 3. Bertha Amelia Pongracz Bert See that tall dark girl with a continental and very feminine air coming down the hall? Well, that couldn't be anyone but Bertha. Bertha is very popular, a good sport and al- ways on hand for a good time. She is one of our few students who has struggled through four years of Latin and we feel sure she will succeed along that line.

NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT MEMO Robert Nansteel Bob Bob's appearance on the mound and his ability to pitch the old apple down the alley have awed many a foe of our baseball team. Although also intensely interested in wrest- ling, his talents do not lie entirely along ath- letic lines. Bob's knack at playing a guitar, together with his dry humor, seems to make him the perfect cowboy. He is also proficient in his studies, particularly along scientific and mathematical lines. General Course Science Club 3, 43 Art Club 2, Industrial Arts Theater Club 43 Harmonica Club 3. Philomena M. Oricko Phil Flashing dark eyes, black wavy hair and an olive skin proclaim Phil a typical daughter of Italy. Her sparkling wit and charm make her the center of any group. She is ever ready to join in any athletic event, and when she does, she's sure to stand out from the crowd. Her keen appreciation of art and music is also noteworthy.

Robert Joseph Ormiston Max Bob The harmonica wizard of Fountain Hill -that is how we will remember Bob. He is the third portion of our hill-billy unit, and can also make a guitar talk tive different languages. Bob is of the long and lanky type, with a fine head topped by a mass of decidedly curly dark hair. His popularity with all who know him is due in part to his ability to tell and hear jokes.

NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT MEMOIR Edward Posch Wally Posch is a short well-built fellow who seems to be always dreaming. Whenever a sarcastic remark is made in history class, all eyes are immediately focused on Posch. His dry humor has been the source of many funny incidents. The least of his worries, as we all are in- clined to believe, is studies. Commercial Course Home Economics Club 43 Art Club 2, 3. 4 Congetta Ronca Dolly Dolly is a pretty, dark-haired, dark-eyed Italian girl, displaying a radiant smile and sparkling eyes. She is a bundle of energy, loves fun and jokes, and is usually heard ta- te-ta-ing some popular song. We believe she also likes to talk a lot. May she have success in whatever she undertakes. Commercial Course Dramatic Club 43 Glee Club 3, 4g Debate Club 35 Oratorical Contest 3. Harold Shelly Menu Hiram Hiram, a rather tall, gangling youth, is Coopersburg's contribution to the Class of '38. In class he seems always a bit flustered. When called upon to answer a question, he rises with shirt-tails dangling, turns red in the face, and stutters and stammers out his reply. But among us all he is a very talkative, good- natured fellow. He is adept at tootin' the tuba, and actlng the part of an adolescent young- ster in dramatic productions.
